Subject to approval by the Council of Ministers, the Council is in responsible of enacting the necessary legislation to improve cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity attacks cause financial damage
Individuals and companies can suffer financial and reputational harm as a result of cybersecurity breaches. The global average data breach in 2022 will cost $4.35 million, up from $4.24 million the previous year, according to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach report.
Last month, the UAE also announced plans to develop a cybersecurity vision that will enhance anti-cybercrime efforts over the next 50 years.
Enhancing the ability to confront increasing digital challenges
Dr. Mohammed Al Kuwaiti, Chairman of the UAE Cybersecurity Council, noted at the time that the move would offer the government with "the highest level of flexibility," boosting its ability to "face increasing digital challenges."
He went on to add: "As the UAE looks forward to its centenary in 2071, we have the opportunity to pause and consider how the world can evolve, and how we can use technology to improve outcomes for humanity."
